Programs

At Rising Sun Yoga we offer two approaches to completing the yoga immersion/teacher training, the Express and Leisurely Journeys. The Express Journey runs twice a year and is approximately five months of training. The Leisurely Journey, is student paced and broken up into four segments of training. Students completing either program earn a certificate of completion, and can register with the Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200.  A non-certification journey is also available upon request.

The Express Journey - Includes 15 Sunday Sessions From Noon to 8:00PM. Three Weekend Workshops and a Weekend Yoga Retreat, homework, and practicum. The retreat to Song of the Morning in Vanderbilt, MI does not include lodging but runs about ~$110 plus tax and includes meals. Students enjoy the opportunity to take drop-in classes at no charge during their express journey.

The Leisurely Journey -  Offers students the opportunity to complete training at their own pace. Students complete home study lessons, practicum, and collect primary instructor contact hours at classes, workshops, or retreats, of their choice. Sunday Express Journey classes are also an option upon invitation. The leisurely journey can begin at anytime and ends when you complete the requirements for certification. The program is organized into four segments. Each segment students will be able to attend four drop in classes and a weekend workshop or retreat at no extra charge (excluding retreat lodging).

Training

Our program is Classical Hatha Yoga based upon Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga with an emphasis on the details of applying asana, pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy to everyday life.

"I learned to walk further down the yogic path toward inner peace.  Not only did I gain knowledge in anatomy, yoga philosophy and postures, but also learned that I can teach with confidence."  Carrie

Students enjoy a unique opportunity to learn asana with the use of Posture Pro technology. This equipment leads to a rapid absorption of knowledge and understanding of asana. This detailed knowledge of how the body works in asana produces confidence and skill in both personal practice and teaching.  This learning is integrated into a flowing practice with grace and mindful attention of detail producing a safe but challenging practice for students of all levels.  The universal knowledge acquired can be taken into any style of yoga for the most profound results of the practice.

"The asana practice on the Posture Pro is a definite plus - proper alignment is everything - the pro helps us to understand and feel proper alignment." - Pam

We utilize two studio rooms each week.  The "cave" contains our Posture Pro equipment where we learn foundation, structure, and details of biomechanics and breath. In our larger more open "white" room we utilize the principles learned to teach the postures free form safely and effectively in flow series, and discuss philosophy, meditate, and learn to teach pranayama effectively.

"I love this school.  I have no doubt that this was exactly what I needed in my life for the growth that I have been praying for."  Erin

The curriculum includes a thorough understanding of the importance of foundation, biomechanics,  healthy eating/nutrition, yoga anatomy, philosophy, class structuring, designing a class that is safe to teach and practice, asana flow sequencing, alignment adjustments, contraindications, pranayama, meditation, chakras, the business of yoga, and ethics.

"Totally intense, cleansing, very understanding, and compassionate student body as well as staff... When I hear of those weekend cert. courses and how the quality of teachers from those are very low, I feel confident I am not in that category.  This cert. feels earned and I feel good about sharing yoga now." - Miranda

 Retreat

The positive response we get each retreat proves it a vital and favorite part of the program.  Workshops, meditation, yoga classes and a great time to bond with class mates, nature, and your Self.

"Rising Sun was definitely the right choice for me for a teacher training program.  I really admire how open-minded and yet rigorous you guys are. There seems to be so many dogmatics in the yoga world and there's just none of that at this school.  I really feel well equipped to teach a wide variety of students. Thank you."  - Stephanie
